Because it never happened. But that is the point. You can't have it both ways. Either it is all true, or it is not all true. If it partially or somewhat true then no one can tell which is which.
But I am somewhat puzzled by your statement about Exodus. The Old Testament clearly identifies the murders as being directly at the hand of the deity. It doesn't say a bunch of Jews with machetes went running around whacking people. So how can you excuse the deity?
God didn't need to take penicillin. God created it and hid it where it could only be found by godless scientists (ok a bit of hyperbole but you get my point I hope).
